SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 344,427, dated June 29, 1886. Application filed May 3,1886. Serial No. 200,952. (No model.)

To aZZ whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, CONRAD G. WANEN- MACHER, a citizen of the United States, residing in Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in rench and Look Combined, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to combine in one instrument a monkey-wrench and a suitable device for locking the wheels of a bicycle together, so as to prevent it from being tampered with or used during the absence of the owner, all of which will be fully and clearly hereinafter shown, described, and claimed.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device complete. Fig. 2 is aside elevation, partly in section, so as to expose the interior construction. Fig. 3 is a plan or top view of the wrench, the removable staple or yoke being left off; and Fig. 4 is a detached side elevation of the lock, showing its outer case in section, so as to show the bolt and spring.

In said drawings, 1 represents the handle of the wrench. 2 and 3 are the jaws. The slidingjaw 2 is provided with the sliding bar 4, adapted to slide into the handle portion 1. It is provided with the screw portion 5 and nut 6, which projects a short distance through an opening in each side of the handle, as shown, so as to be easily grasped by the fingers to turn it and operate the wrench, all of which is old and well known, and requires no further description here.

At the top of the sliding jaw 2 is pivoted an angular piece, 7, by a pin, 8. It is adapted to move in the direction of the arrow 9, up into the position shown in Fig. 1, when the point 10 comes against a portion of the top of the sliding jaw, as shown, so that it can move no farther in that direction, but it can be moved down in the opposite direction, as shown in Fig. 2, or by the dotted lines 11 in Fig. 1. The top of the case or handle 1 is provided with two holes, 25 and 26, through which the ends of the removable yoke 12 pass when in place, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. This yoke 12 is provided with a shank, 13, (shown in Fig. 2,) adapted to fit either of the holes 14.

(Shown in Fig. 3.) Some of these holes 14 are shown in dotted lines, because they are below the case or handle. These holes may also be put along through the screw portion 5, if desired, so as to allow for sufificient adjustment in the back of the sliding portion of the movable jaw 2. (See Figs. 2 and 3.) The opposite side of this yoke has an inclined end, 15, and is pro vided with a notch, 16, into which the end of the spring-bolt passes when it is in position, as shown in Fig. 2.

The lock consists of the outer case, 17, the bolt 18, and a spring, 21, to push it forward. (See Figs. 2 and 4.) At the back end of the bolt is a curved end, 19, against which the key 23 presses when moving theboltor unlockingit.

20 in Fig. 1 represents the key-hole, and 24 is the usual pintle or pin.

In the construction of this device, the lockcase 17 (with the lock and spring) is put through the hole 28 of the handle 1, and riveted in place by a rivet, 22; but, if desired, a portion of the side of the handle may be made to take off in any well-known way. The lock may then be riveted in place, and the plate or portion of the side of the handle may be put on and secured by rivets or screws. 27 represents one of the rivet-holes to be used if a plate is put on; but it isim material which way the lock is put in.

WVhen the wrench is not in use as a lock, the hook 7 is turned down, as shown in Fig. 2, and the yoke 12 is removed,'as shown in Fig. 3, when it can be used for the purposes of an ordinary wrench.

In using the device as a lock, tion 7 is pushed up, as in Fig. 1, and passed over the rim of one wheel of a bicycle, for instance, aud then the yoke 12 is put over the rim of the other wheel and pushed down in place, which looks it.

It will be seen that the wrench may be opened out in the usual way, (or the portion 2 and 4 made to move out by the nut 6,) so that it may be adjusted to answer for wheels that are at different distances apart, the holes 14 are placed in the sliding portion4 for this purpose, so that the shank 13 of the yoke can enter any hole that may thus be brought in its way.

This device is also adapted for locking any the hook porpiece of machinery to which it may be atable jaw 2, in combination with a removable tached. In taking it off when so locked in yoke, 12, having the shank 13, adapted to pass place all that is required is to put the key 23 into the perforations in the sliding bar, and a in place, as shown in Fig. 2, and move the bolt notch, 16, adapted to receivethe lock-bolt for 5 out from the notch 16 and remove the yoke 12. locking it, substantially as and for the pur- I 5 I claim-as my inventionposes described.
